SHANGHAI, Oct 13 (Reuters) - China and Hong Kong shares
dropped on Monday, taking their cues from weakness in global
markets as concerns mount over the health of major economies.

By midday, the Shanghai Composite Index declined 1
percent to 2,351.39 points, set for the biggest percentage fall
since Sept. 22, while the CSI300 of the leading
Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listings also dropped 1 percent.
